Saint James the Great Anglican Church, Smiths Station, Alabama

We are orthodox Anglicans upholding the Catholic and Apostolic Faith. This Mission of St James’ is an Anglican Church. We believe in the Faith and Practice of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church professed before the division of East and West. We believe in that Faith and Practice as received by the Diocese of the Holy Cross. We believe the Bible contains all things necessary to salvation

and is divinely inspired. We believe in the Ecumenical Councils of the Undivided Church, and we understand authority in the Church to be guided by the Holy Spirit and found through faithful reception of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. We believe the Anglican Tradition, without the recent innovations, is a faithful and orthodox expression of Christianity. We believe in the Apostolic Succession of Bishops, in the Seven Sacraments unchanged in either form or matter, in the witness of the Book of Common Prayer, and think “worship in the beauty of holiness” is important. We know that Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, and The Life, this Faith is unchanging, and we trust God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – as our only hope. Mission Committee
